Looks like the Discovery Channel is rerunning the programs that they
shot at LDRS a few years ago. It looks like the one with Ky's outhouse.
It's on Wed 2/15 ad 3:00 PM Eastern. They are tying it in with the movie
with Billy Bob Thorton.

I happened across this circuit on the Web and thought it might be
interesting to those looking for an unusual recovery beeper:

I have an Estes Maxi-Brute Honest John, unbuilt.  I was thinking about
building it "hardened" like I did my first one, which flew on I motors

private individuals website, and did not want to flood his site and
possibly shut it down to excessive bandwidth.
anyway, I'll quote one line for the plaintifs motion.

I bought some little "mini rockets" for my kids, the ones that use 1/2 A and
A engines. I have 1 1/3 acre yard, so we went out into the back yard to
launch them. Launched the first one with a 1/2 A engine. It went up....it
went pooof.....we found the engine in the street, and ...

In response to laser cut fins and other parts a while back.  We are a
laser cutting service and we do alot of small runs for hobby stuff.
We cut different materials such as acrylic (Plexiglass), PETG, thin

Could one turn a BIMBA air cylinder into a rocket? Although it's a lot
less powerful than a scuba tank (max pressure around 200 psi), they're
much lighter, smaller, and cheaper. Could one get over the roof of a
2-story house? Some of them seem pretty long and cylindrical like a
